Back-up in accredited labs may delay overseas pet moves


One early veterinary visit for the rabies antibody blood draw can prevent delays for overseas pet moves.

Get the rabies antibody test done early before moving with pets to destinations that require the FAVN-OIE test result before entry. Turnaround time for rabies antibody tests is now four to six weeks, according to Air Animal Pet Movers.

Many countries require certified rabies antibody test results (FAVN-OIE) before pets can enter.

If relocating to Hawaii within two to 36 months, assure the pet rabies vaccinations are up to date. Then get the rabies antibody test done now by an accredited U.S. laboratory. FAVN results are good for 36 months before Hawaii entry.
